||tj? ||eniID and jem Entered at the Postoffice at New9mry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, May 21, 1915. As we read the correspondence between Gov. Manning and Mayor Grace there is more politics in the situation than an honest desire for the enforcement of law in Charleston. The influence of the administration at Columbia is being thrown against tlie election of Mr. Grace. We are no admirer of Mr. Grace, but you must hand it to him that he is a good letter writer, and if he just holds Ibis equipoise the effort from Columbia will prove a boomerang and be in favor of Grace. Why should tliere be, just at this time, such a fearful effort at suppressing the sale of liquor in Charleston and nowhere else. Conditions are peculiar in Charleston and what suits there would not be suitable to other sections. We would like to ask if Gov. Manning didn't pardon a man oamed Lyon who &ad been convicted several times for wife beating and other similar offences, that he might testify against Mayor Grace in some contest before the convention, and if it was not found that the had been convicted of so many disqualifying crimes that the governor overlooked some of tlaem and he could not testify. And why the papers said nothing about this pardon, and if it was recommended by the pardon board? The illicit sale of liquor is bad; the intemperate use of the stuff is worse; but these are not the only laws that are being violated in this State, and Charleston is not the only place where they are being violated. Then why center so much energy at this time on law enforcement in Charleston? Gov. Manning removed the sheriff of Kersliaw from office, because he failed, according to the governor, to close up a blind tiger. Wonder if he will apply the same rule to the sheriff of Charles ton The Herald and News publishes the correspondence. It is interesting reading. It is a great pity that, in this enligfiitei^ed age, when men and women are educated, and there are churcnes and school houses on every hilltop; that it should be necessary to have so many thou shalt not laws. It would seem tfcat we should have reached that time in the progress of the race when all of us would be willing to be governed by the Golden Rule and govern ourselves accordingly. If we we would just observe that rule, "Whatsoever ye would that men do unto you do ye even so unto them," t there would be little use for so many laws. To put it differently, if in dealing with our fellows we would always try to put yourself in the other fellow's place and then ask tow we would like to bes treated of positions were excang ed, we would have a great world. But selfishness, which is followed by an inordinate love of money and power, rules the day. The law requires that those wfco drive the public highway should turn to the right when meeting another vehicle. A great many drivers of cars seem to have the idea that that law or rule means that the other fellow must turn to the right, even if he has to go into a ditch to do so, and ihat the road was meant for them , And some of these are educated men ' i who should have regard for the otke\ fellow, and if you don't turn you are liable to be run into and knocked off. Then t':.ere should be some regard for the rate of speed and the law regulates that, but ic is observed only according to the whim of the youth who happens to be at the w&eel. Then, the driver of a car should also remember that even the man on foot and the man on horseback and the man in a buggy or wagon has some sort of right to the use of the (highway. And yet there are some who drive cars Who seem to have an idea?if such a thing is possible?that all they have to do is to toot the ihorn and every one must get out of che way, "for I am coming."

For ten years or more The Herald and News has been in season and out ? advocating and dreaming of a park for Newberry. From what we can gather from Mr. F. R. Hunter and the ! members of the Civic association, ar | rangements are under way by which a park will be assured for Newberry. We are glad to note this fact, and by ! another issue of the paper we hope to be able to state absolutely that work j has begun on the building of the park, j Option has been secured on the land and money sumcient secured to start 'the work and opeD the park this sum! mer. 1< . ?? The sad deatfn of young Miss Suber from an automobile accident, without iHom nf in cr + n Kljamo unvwllPrP tv UV^M\/4A W, should be a warning to all drivers of cars to be extremely careful. Her untimely death brings sadness and sorj row to many homes and cuts off a | bright and promising young life in tfce bloom of its girlhood. It will necessarily cast a shadow of sadness over the life of the young man who was 'driving the car, even though he may feel that tfae accident was entirely unavoidable. We can not too often stress a* ^ MA-Pttl 1> /?Kn nr Lue xuipuruniyt; ui uiiciui uauunug- ux these machines. We sympathize deeply with the stricken parents and relatives of the young lady.. ? As it was impossible on account of a pressing business engagement for us to be with our friends at the closing exercises of tlbe Little Mountain school this week, and as it will be impossible | to see ail of them, we desire to say that the young lady who was the winI * ! ner of the Aull essay medal with get | her medal in a few days and we will | deliver it in person. <\Ve regret that we could not be present and have tf:e medal delivered the night of the exercises. We feel a personal interest in the Little Mountain High school, and it is our purpose to encourage it all in our power. The principal failed to send us the subject of the essay. | We understand that tfce medal was ! won by iMiss Xinaleigh Bolandr and I tnat honorable mention was made of Miss Estelle Stockman. We wish we could give all of the dear girls and the manly boys a medal, but then those j who did not get the prize have been j benefited by the effort they put forth ; in 1.1: e race.

"Have you forgotten about turning the otlaer cheek?" "X-n-no, boo-?hoo!" wailed Jack, "but I couldn't. She hit me in the middle. t S | RAILROADS IN ARGENTINA.

Loir and Legagneux of Paris tested vinegar as a destroyer of the germs of typhoid fever. That they are killed by n mixture of wine and water in equal parts has long been known. These investigators prove now that) twenty grams of vinegar to a liter oi water kill the typhoid bacillus In anj hour and live minutes. "From this," writes the Paris correspondent of the London Lancet, "a practical inference may be drawn concerning salads. After washing the salad as usual, detaching each leaf, it should be put into water acidulated with ten grams of vinegar to the liter and remain immersed in this liquid for about an hour and a quarter. All vegetables ordinarily eaten uncooked may be subjected without any inconvenience to the same process." A liter is equivalent to about a quart and ten grams are equivalent to about a third of an ounce. So if lettuce or other greens for salad be placed in water to which about one-third of an ounce of vinegar has been added and be left for about an hour and a quarter all danger of typhoid fever will be removed. The Centipede. ; The centipede was formerly a resident of the southern part of this country, but it has gradually worked its way to the north, so that now it is quite common in nearly every portion of the country. It thrives best in damp and warm places and has its redeeming feature in that it catches and * * nncto destroys LLlJiDy VI iuc Ctuuuc;anv. we are well rid of. Its method of catching an insect seems to be to spring over it. inclosing and caging it with its many legs. The belief occasionally met with that the centipede feeds on household goods and woolens or other clothing is without foundation. Od the other hand, the bite of this creature is undoubtedly more or less poisonous, the effect depending on the ' " C?f T A111S SUSCepUDliny Ul lue paueuu?juvuw Post-Dispatch.

It lakes Mve minutes ror me Desx o? Them to Get Under. Submarines are not easy to handle and it takes considerable skill and daring to navigate them successfully. Many people have the idea that as soon ( as a submarine sees an enemy, the officer in command gives a sharp order. I - ? ' i? - ? t: ?.. I ana almost uerore it uas leu uis ups the submarine is diving beneath the wavea As a matter of fact the very latest submarines take a clear five minutes before they can become submerged. Many of the older submarines took ten minutes to a quarter of an bour to sink. The reason that submarine cannot dive quickly, like a fish, is because the water which must be let into her tanks to make her heavy enough to sink. must be let in comparatively slowly If ic were let in with a rush the | chances are the vessel would not go I down 011 an even keel, but would heel over and be in great danger of dis- s aster. If water, too. were lot in too ? quickly there is a danger of letting in I too much and in that case the sub- j marine would sink like a stone to the ! . bottom of the sea. The depth at which a submarine t travels under the sea is regulated by horizontal rudders. The water that is let in the ballast tanks is just suffi- { c-ient to "balance" the vessel in the , sea without rising or sinking.?London Spectator.
